I’ve been using this Roof Top Cargo Bag for the past 6 years. It stores a ridiculous amount of gear, it’s extremely durable (the material is rubber laminated nylon) and it’s waterproof. There are 8 straps that attach to your cars Roof Rack, which keeps it in place for the whole trip up to your campsite.
Really is Waterproof! My wife and I purchased this product for a trip of 500 miles across Texas to go on the existing roof rack of our Toyota FJ Cruiser. It is advertised to fit most racks and it fit ours perfectly. I think we had more than 15 cubic feet of luggage, dog food, and bedding stuffed into it as we were also bringing our two huge dogs (no, they weren’t in the carrier!). Loading was easy and the zippers worked fine. The only problem we had was adjusting the straps. It took forever to take them up the first time we tied it down, but on the return trip it went much easier. The strap configuration seems awkward, but possibly can be adjusted before loading, which I’ll try next time.On several reviews of similar products wind noise was mentioned, like it was to be expected, but we noticed NO noise even when driving 80mph through west Texas. The ties never loosened and the load was just as secure when we arrived as when we started. But the best thing about this product is that it…
Worked Wonderfully – Don’t hesitate to buy My family and I were making a trip to West Texas to see family for the Christmas break and needed the extra cargo room. I researched and researched these bags before I selected this one (I also considered the Rain-X 161040). After reading the reviews on the Rain-X 161040 and the problems with the zippers, I chose this product. I was not disappointed.We own a 2007 Toyota Highlander with a roof rack and sun roof and this cargo bag fit perfectly. I was able to put a small duffel, large duffel, medium-small carry-on suitcase, a large box that measures (14″ X 10″ X 25″) and a smaller box. I also put a few smaller items to help fill it up. In all, it held most of our actual luggage which allowed us to put all of the Christmas presents in the back. I will admit that our cargo bag was stuffed. In fact,there were a few places where the corners of the box rubbed pretty tightly against the cargo bag material. I was concerned that during the trip the bag would rip due to…
Like a Second Trunk! UPDATE – Ok… it does leak. I certainly would never call it “Water Proof” it is more “Water Resistant” so you definitely want to pack things in garbage bags if you want to keep the contents completely dry.We have been considering a roof top cargo bag for several years. It seems like we are running out of room when we travel. Our solution had always been to just be more judicious in what we packed, but now that we have a baby we began to run out of options. Enter the Keeper Waterproof Roof Top Cargo Bag.Some General Notes+ This thing holds A LOT of stuff. In fact, it really is like a second trunk. We were able to fit two big duffle bags into the cargo bag and still have plenty of additional space.+ Now quite proof – more like “Water Resistant”. The cargo bag only has one zipper which is hidden under a double-flap that velcros together. On our trip we only experienced a light snow, but everything remained dry.+ The Zipper…
